Abstract
It is shown that proceeding from the spiral stationary form of the protein chains one can deduce, in a unique way, the explicit expression for the relevant free energy. Namely, the free energy density should be a linear function of the curvature k of the curve which describes the shape of the central line of the protein molecule. Minimization of this
